One of my grandmothers had to drop out of school in the sixth grade, and the other in the eighth grade. Both of them could write a better letter than my nephew, who's a straight-A student according to today's standards.

Be happy that your nephew WRITE letters.

Most kids today wouldn't know where to start.

You are so right. My grandfather dropped out of school in the 6th grade, but wrote elegantly like so many of his generation. By the way, one of his first jobs was working for Edison in his workshop in N.J. In those days, one didn't need a degree to get a job.
